摘要
Performing under pressure: The BH4 group in the high-pressure modification of LiBH4 has an unprecedented square-planar coordination by four Li atoms (see picture). This structure exhibits a strikingly short H⋯H contact between adjacent BH4 anions and thus may show completely different hydrogen-storage properties if stabilized by chemical substitution at ambient pressure.
